Just this morning I noticed my dwarf gourami not moving normally. It was basically floating with the filter but still trying to swim. It was flipping out a couple of times (seemed like a panic swim, thrashing, swimming up-side-down). It then stopped and he was sitting on the bottom, seemed to be gasping for air. After about 30 min of the sitting it started to swim around normal, but staying at the top, with it's mouth at the surface.
I tested the water and nothing came out abnormal. Last night when I fed them everything seemed fine.

Its still doing the flipping out episodes once in a while. I'm lost. Please Help!

1 dwarf flame gourami

none of the other fish are gasping for air or swimming towards the top, just the gourami
